Some creatures feed on blood and revel in the screams of their prey. I crave only caffeine and the clacking of keys. I pay the bills doing the grunt work no one else wants to take, bringing dead electronics back to life and working arcane wonders with software. My true passion is hammering out words that become anything from tales that terrify to futuristic worlds of wonder. All that and turning three children into a private mercenary army make for a life filled with adventure.
